Hello,
This is confirm your recent GP2X order has now been sent to you.
If you are in the UK you can look forward to recieving your order in
the next 24 hours (weekends not included), if you chose UPS shipping you
should recieve your order in the next 48 hours (weekends not included).
Airmail will take 2-12 days.
If you have any questions or problems please email
sales@cdworld.co.uk, please remember to quote your order number which is ------------------.
Don't delete this email as it is your receipt.
Due to the GP2X being a new console, firmware updates will be released
within the coming weeks, we will email you and also update our website
when these are available.
Current known problems:
On some units the case can be too tightly sealed, just loosen the
screws slightly, signs of this are screen ghosting when using the joypad.
Joystick may have trouble going left, just slightly unscrew the joypad
top (just turn it).
These only effect a tiny amount of units, but we thought we had better
mention it.
Thank you for ordering from www.GP2X.co.uk we hope you enjoy your
products and will order from us again soon.
Appears there maybe a few issues with these units.

LOL.... I'll let you drop round and sniff the box that it comes in on Saturday morning if you ask nicely Mr Young....
...but I'd guess that you'll get yours around then anyway.
Seriously - if I get mine on Saturday and you don't, you can come and have a look / play if you'd like. Two heads will be better than one getting everything up and running ASAP anyway!

Sent my mails to sales@cdworld.co.uk and addressed them to Jacquelyn. Now remember to be nice in you're correspondance.

Aye that's who and where I sent mine. I'd spoke to her on the 17th when I placed my order as I'd forgot to select special delivery 
She confirmed then that there were only black ones available 
She's been more than helpful so far

Well todays the day.
The City Link van has already done it's rounds this morning on our street. And no parcel.
So it looks like it's either Royal Mail or another delivery firm.

Wonder if they know tomorrow is Saturday !
Your order is being shipped today and should arrive before 1pm tomorrow.
Apologies for the delay, we are working as quickly as possible to ship all orders, but the major server problems we had on Monday slowed things down. No excuse for not sending you an email though.

Oh well, it's looking like I wouldn't have had much time to play with it this weekend anyway. Going to be busy with other stuff for most of it...
Now have to wait another 2 hours to go and collect it from the depot.

Just checked my email and Jacquelyn has got back to me to say that mine will be shipped out today and should be with me tomorrow or Tuesday At least I know it's on its way now
Iain, you may find you're in the same boat!

Looks like I will have to wait to tomorrow to collect mine. The Post Office sorting place closes @ 1:15pm Mon-Fri.
ALL of them are either at Hanslows house OR they don't really exist

Cool - "GP2X - Your order has been sent" email just arrived from GP2X.co.uk
It does state that "Your order should arrive in the next 24hrs (weekends not included)" but hopefully they will do as promised in a previous mail and deliver prior to 1pm tomorrow. Fingers crossed....
Still not heard anything Iain?

Just had a reply from Jaqueline that mine should be sent today. They send them via royal mail, (who apparently will delivery up to 1pm on a Saturday), so there is still hope for the weekend...

Iain, to further get your hopes up, Jacquelyn had sent me this earlier.....
Your order is being shipped today, yes I do know it's Saturday tomorrow
(Kernel), and 99.9% of our orders shipped on Friday arrive on Saturday -
because the Royal Mail just love us. I suppose I should have
mentioned that there is a tiny possibility that it will arrive on
Tuesday.

Hopefully when everyone gets theirs. They work.
Not to put a spanner in the works. But did you also get this info in you're e-mails?
"Due to the GP2X being a new console, firmware updates will be released
within the coming weeks, we will email you and also update our website
when these are available.
Current known problems:
On some units the case can be too tightly sealed, just loosen the
